How to Use

• You can either print the pages out, or show them to the student on a computer, Smartphone, or tablet for vocabulary development. My students seem to enjoy viewing it on a computer, phone, or tablet, but do whatever works best for your student.

• Use this story to prepare a child for a doctor visit.

• This activity is part of a series of activities about going to the doctor or dentist. You can find the rest of these activities here: http://positivelyautism.weebly.com/freebies-health-and-safety.html

Going to the Doctor

Soon, I will go to the doctor.

The doctor's job is to see if I am healthy. The doctor wants to make

sure that I feel good.

When we get to the doctor's office, we will wait until it is my turn.

I can sit in a chair and read a book or play with toys while I wait.

When it is my turn, the nurse will ask me to stand on a scale to measure my

weight.

The nurse may also measure my height.

The nurse might also check my temperature.

Next, we will probably go to a room to wait for the doctor.

The room will have a table and chairs. The nurse might ask us questions

while we wait for the doctor to come.

When the doctor comes, he or she might ask me to sit on the table. It is

okay to sit on this table. Being up high helps the doctor see me better.

The doctor will look at different parts of my body to make sure I am healthy.

The doctor might look at my ears, mouth, or nose.

The doctor might also use a stethoscope to listen to me breathe.

When the doctor is finished, the nurse or doctor might give me a sticker for

letting the doctor look at me.

Then, we are all done!

I am learning about going to the doctor's office.
